Narrator states something about Putin's "authoritarian attempt"

[quote]Byock reveals through careful reading of the famed
numerous sagas associated with Viking voyages and colonial life
(i.e. Njál’s Saga, set in 10th century Iceland; Greenlander’s
Saga, written in the later 12th century; and Eirik’s Saga,
written in the mid 13th century). These sagas are populated by
chieftains, free farmers, valorous deeds, enemies slain and
territories taken, aristocratic-democratic forms of government,
concerns for the honour and ethics of the individual and his
family, the epic ideal of an individual’s sacrifice to duty to
liege lord, and the heroic experiences of sailor-farmers
colonising Greenland and North America.[36][/quote]
